Hello geezers Due to the fact that I made some headway in learning about the reflective layers I have redone the 485 skins, the paintwork is better and gives a much better finish. I don't intend doing any more work on them so please redownload them from below. They will also be in the Vault and via Checkskins. Thanks for your cooperation and cheers Tom for the info.

Yes it shows up....I was a bit slow as to what you were talking about 😉🙄

What's that FT?

485 skins in the 'Skault' for Checkskins users, in the 'Downloads' section and also attached here 485 Delta.dds 485 Friar.dds 485 Painless.dds 485 Pooka.dds 485 Reggie.dds 485 Sid.dds 485 APHill.dds 485 Artie.dds 485 Crash.dds

Sid's in...!!! Prior notice chaps, I will be putting 485 skins in here ready for tonight. Hoping to get them up 19.00 ish. I will also put them into Checkskins.

And F11 toggles the instrument panel and aircraft/ground markers

I like that twin engined Diamond, it's what I spend most of my time in

I know it's something I have gone on about a lot....🙄... but I get disappointed when our guys call out enemy aircraft that have been spotted on the mini map or main map. Not many still use full icons ie. names, types, distances, but I don't see the need for them at all as long as each of us has a dot or triangle to aid in spotting similar to what the majority use now. I would love to have the '46 system where icons can be set to be visible at a distance but we don't. Still hoping.....

Good, top marks for determination

So far I am flying using just the Saitek X52 hotas and rudder pedals and Trackir. Seems enough. The game recognised my controllers and in the Controls section I get a piccie of the stick and what the buttons are allocated to. Easy to print off and write on as a quick reference.

It decided I was Ultra but I run on High because it gives me an average 40 fps as opposed to 30 over London

I'm up for the challenge though......will be fun to find Git's to fly over

Sat on the ground at Long Marston near Warwick... I like your ambience and atmosphere Arthur, be interesting to know what you have....inevitable really....graphics set at

No piccies yet.... Took off from Staverton airport near Gloucester at about 1900 local time in the twin engined Diamond. Picked up the M5 motorway and followed it north towards Worcester with the River Severn and the Malvern Hills on my left....all very good looking and familiar. Flew over Upton Marina with all the boats moored up, over Worcester (minus the cathedral) and over Droitwich Spa. I could recognise the layout and the street mapping is very accurate....my place is there although it is still pre 2017 when the Oso salt works was a cleared area. Flew back to Staverton in a very nice light with the sun going down behind the Malverns. Approached the airport over the motorway and landed, taxied to the hanger area where there were ground crew batoning me in. Switched off. Staverton is very well modelled and is an accurate portrayal of the airport, even down to me being directed to the correctly placed luggage handling area. All in all, I am impressed and am looking to getting some more hours in. For those having install issues I hope you do manage to get it installed because it is worth it.

I agree with the install process. For such a major company and such a big project I am amazed how non intuitive and non supportive ie. lack of hints, it is. I pre downloaded what was now obviously the installer onto my 'F' drive. I tried to install from the receipt link but it got to the 'Press any key' page and stopped. Only after a lonnng search online and after an uninstall/reinstall, updated windows10 manually to version 2004 (a very long process of almost 2 hours), updated nvidia drivers, did I find out about the xbox app. I didn't have the 'XBox (beta) App' installed - why it didn't say so beats me. So once I had downloaded and installed onto the 'F' drive it then went past the 'Press any key' page and started the process of downloading and installing - all in all about 3 hours. When finished it has started and run fine.

Well, I can't get past the 'Press any key to start' screen. It is installed on the 'F' drive. I have reinstalled. I have updated windows and nvidia drivers. I have clicked 'Run as administrator'. Any suggestions? Edit: Sorted! Needed to download and install the XBox app.....

I would like YU-CNT please........🙄 but I will go with what we decide is appropriate.....🙄

Luddite......

I have pre-ordered the 'big' one. Unfortunately won't be around for the week of release so I will let the rest of you pre-orderers sort out the setting up...

Eh? What have I done to deserve the honour..!!
